This is a sample application to accompany my blog post on Stack Abuse. This post introduces GraphQL, designs a schema for movies and details how to create the GraphQL API with Graphene and Django.
Aside from the Django application, this repo also includes the following:
- schema.graphql - the complete GraphQL schema
- queries.graphql - an exmaple of every query and mutation defined in the schema
- actorQuery.sh - a sample cURL request to communicate with the API
- movies.json - test data
Clone this repo, and in the directory follow these steps:
# Create virtual environment
python3 -m venv env
# Activate virtual environment
. env/bin/activate
# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt
# Run DB migration
python manage.py migrate
# Optional: load test data
python manage.py loaddata movies.json
# Run the application
python manage.py runserverIf you go to http://127.0.0.1:8000/graphql/, you'll be able to interact with the API there.
